I was thinking more like Wilson, Lofton, Chamerlain, but Hawthorne works quite well for me too.
I also like what I've read about ...

The Minnesota Vikings have not yet announced a decision on MLB E.J. Henderson, and should they choose to move on without him, they should make a serious attempt to sign Seattle Seahawks MLB David Hawthorne.

After the New Orleans Saints picked up free agent LB Curtis Lofton, 25, from Atlanta on Saturday, the Vikings' best option to solidify their linebacker corps was off the market. This leaves Hawthorne, 26, as the best viable option for the Vikings in free agency.

I was thinking more like Wilson, Lofton, Chamerlain, but Hawthorne works quite well for me too.

I also like what I've read about Bussey. He's a sleeper candidate for WLB.

I'm also quietly expectant of Hunter, who seems to have a lot of raw talent based on what I've read about his college playing days.

He's my sleeper pick for the next couple of seasons 'cos he won't probably get many chances to break through the depth charts this coming season, but if he can make a ST contribution and the chips fall just right... who knows?

I really like the depth, talent, and the youth coupled with veteran leadership that the Saints' LB corps seems to have right now. They may not have any superstars, but a very solid group who hopefully will play well as an unit under Spags.
